I think this is the perfect recipe—it’s incredibly easy, requiring only one bowl and a wooden spoon, and it delivers big, chunky, crisp-yet-chewy cookies jam-packed with sweet pecans and big chunks of chocolate. The secret to its easy perfection lies in melting the butter first instead of creaming it with the sugar. I melt the butter in my favorite ceramic bowl in the microwave, then add the remaining ingredients, and my cookie dough is ready in less than 5 minutes.
